The Church of St Andrew in Clevedon, Somerset, England. Parts of the original 12th-century church remains with 14th- and 15th-century additions.[1][2] It is on a hill overlooking the Bristol Channel, and has been designated as a Grade I listed building.[3]
The church was built on Anglo-Saxon foundations.[4]
It is the burial place of Arthur Hallam, subject of the poem In Memoriam A.H.H. by his friend Alfred, Lord Tennyson.[3][5] The exterior of the church includes a carving which may be a Sheela na gig.[6] The Anglican parish of Clevedon is part of the Portishead deanery.[7]
St Andrew's was used in 2014 to depict the Broadchurch Parish Church and burying ground in the second series of the popular police drama Broadchurch.[8]
